Courteous and fast service here. The restaurant is always clean and the baked goods are displayed in an appetizing way. There is a large parking lot, with a handicapped entryway and there are plenty of tables and seats provided. Great location for a quick bite before or after shopping in the area.

I love Panera atmosphere, my kids love their Mac n cheese. Im not a fan of the new drinks, they taste rancid to me. Hopefully they find someone healthy and fresh to offer.

Pleasant stop with a variety of food choices for the family. Scrumptious Mexican corn chowder, filling Turkey BLT with avocado, and fresh veggie sandwich with Greek salad. Friendly service and quickly made. Clean inside with plenty of space.
